Living in the South

Living in the South is quite amusing at times. They're talking about a possible snow storm on Tuesday, so not only are all the snack foods getting yanked out of the stores for the Super Bowl, but so is all the milk and bread. See, the South does NOT know how to handle a snow storm. They have very little equipment, and less knowledge on how to handle it. Two years ago, we had a half inch of snow fall, and because it happened early afternoon every one started to leave work, and close schools, all at once. Within an hour, with all those vehicles on the road, it had turned the roads to ice. No one was going anywhere. I was lucky, it only took me about 45 min to get home, course I was only about 15 min regular drive from home. My husband was about a 30 min reg. drive, and it took him 8 hours to get home. Insane, indeed. So, now with a possible storm coming this way again, people are planning to stay in for the duration. Too funny. Just like the snow they had in DC this last week, and Barack Obama laughed it off, when his girls school was closed. Being from Chicago, he knew how to deal with the snow, but apparently his new home did/does not.
